22.01.2022 The Word of the Month for February is Facet. The facet joints of the spine - also known as the zygapophyseal joints (try saying that fast! ) are what allow and restrict movement in your back. If these joints become inflamed, that causes soreness and stiffness. People experiencing facet syndrome are likely to feel pain when they stretch or if they’re sitting or standing for long periods of time. ... Do you have back pain? Give us a call and we’ll see how we can help. #backpain #spinehealth #bodyfacts #facetjointsyndrome #wordofthemonth

20.01.2022 The cat/camel (a.k.a cat/cow) stretch is a nice exercise for increasing spine flexibility. Try this: 1. Adopt a four-point kneeling position 2. Look up to the ceiling as you arch your back down to create a dip in your spine and take a big breath in 3. Return to the neutral position... 4. Then drop your head down as you curve your back up to create a hump and exhale 5. Repeat for 2-3 mins, everyday! #chiropractic #chiro #catcamel #flexibility #mobility

10.01.2022 Life with a newborn can be magical and it can also be quite literally a pain in the neck. Breastfeeding and holding your weighty bundle of joy in one position for long periods of time puts a strain on your neck, shoulder and back.

If the pain won’t go away or becomes severe, a chiropractor may be able to help, so get in touch with us today instead of suffering in silence. #mumsofinstagram #newmums #breastfeeding #breastfeedingtips #newbornlife
